CHEAP YEAT STILL DISAPPOINTING: McFarlane BTAS James Gordon


Todd. Todd. TODD.Commissioner Gordon was on clearance. The only Gordon I have is the Batman ‘66 Comics Style Retro Grodon. Soft-Serve Hair Gordon from Batman The Animated Series is MY Commissioner Gordon. So I picked it up.

Fun fact - the Retro Gordon moves better.

This toy is fine. I guess. If you want Gordon standing there. He does a lot of standing there. Jim Godron is a standing there kind of guy. I don’t need to pose him doing Gymkata. But also there’s no good reason at all for his hips to suck as much as they do. They’re hinge and swivel (!) hips that only swivel about 45 degrees. The elbows don’t get to 90 even. What few things the engineering allows you to do with him are essentially useless. I mean, the other thing Jim Gordon does is sit behind a desk and this Gordon CAN’ EVEN GET CLOSE TO THAT FEAT OF FLEXIBILITY.

Oh and the only accessories he comes with are Build A Figure bits for “Lock-Up”, a villain so obscure I don’t even remember him fondly in a fun way like a Condiment King. 

Anyway, Todd’s on my shitlist until I get my Retro Superfiends figs and then we’ll be friends again for a little while.
